 generating a first modified content item of the first set of modified content items by replacing the indication of the first identification information in the first content item with an indication of the second identification information; and 
 generating a second modified content item of the first set of modified content items by replacing the indication of the first identification information in the second content item with an indication of the second identification information. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 receiving a third content item, addressed to the second identification information, from the system; and 
 transmitting the third content item to the first user account. 
 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 receiving a third content item, addressed to the second identification information, from the system; 
 generating a fourth content item based upon the third content item, wherein the fourth content item comprises an indication of the first identification information; and 
 transmitting the fourth content item to the first user account. 
 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 3 , wherein the generating the fourth content item based upon the third content item comprises:
 generating a fourth body of the fourth content item based upon content of a third body of the third content item, wherein the fourth body of the fourth content item comprises the content of the third body of the third content item; and 
 generating a fourth header of the fourth content item, wherein:
 the fourth header comprises a sender address indicative of the first identification information; and 
 the fourth header of the fourth content item is different than a third header of the third content item. 
 
 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the generating the first set of modified content items comprises:
 generating a first body of the first modified content item based upon content of a third body of a third content item of the first set of content items, wherein the first body of the first modified content item comprises the content of the third body of the third content item; and 
 generating a first header of the first modified content item, wherein at least one of:
 the first header comprises a sender address indicative of the second identification information and the first header of the first modified content item is different than a third header of the third content item; or 
 the first header comprises a recipient address indicative of the second identification information and the first header of the first modified content item is different than the third header of the third content item. 
 
 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 2 , wherein a sender address of the third content item is indicative of the second identification information. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 3 , wherein a sender address of the fourth content item is indicative of the first identification information. 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 controlling a graphical user interface of a first client device associated with the first user account to display an interface; and 
 displaying, via the interface, a selectable input associated with providing the system with access to the first set of resources, wherein the request is received responsive to a selection of the selectable input. 
 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the request is received from a server associated with the system. 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 1 , comprising deactivating the second identification information. 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 determining that a duration of time that the second identification information is active meets a threshold duration of time; 
 generating, based upon the duration of time meeting the threshold duration of time, a notification; and 
 transmitting the notification to a first client device associated with the first user account, wherein:
 the notification comprises a selectable input corresponding to deactivating the second identification information. 
 
 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 1 , comprising deactivating the second identification information responsive to a duration of time that the second identification information is active meeting a threshold duration of time. 
     
     
       13. A computing device comprising:
